Having a mouse with a DPI toggle button has been a godsend for me for this reason. I toggle it between 1600 DPI on my desktop and 800 DPI whenever I play a game.
Game has a ton of graphic options. Thanks for that, Capcom!
My rig:
i7 4790k
1080Ti OC
16GB RAM
Win10
Setttings:
- 1872p (1440p + 30%)
- DX11 (significally better performance than DX12)
- maxed out except: CA, fimgrain, DOF, motion blur, all turned off
- TAA (every other AA-option sucks)
- Textures : 4GB
Performance: ~80FPS with 2-3 dips to 60FPS

Wont post the link until I know its safe but this has popped up...
Edit: Can somebody confirm I can actually post it without getting banhammered to oblivion?
Interesting.
At work, would love if someone can verify this :)
Its been verified working, my only doubt being if I can post it without going against the rules, but I guess everyone knows how to use google ;)
So now that the time limiter has been 'fixed' maybe Capcom can 'fix' it themselves so that those of us who don't visit pirate sites can share in this.
This was mentioned earlier, you need the windows media codec pack installed. The game relies on windows media codecs apparently.
2700x with rx 590 1080p
Ran smooth as butter with no dips below 60
All settings maxed.. I did smaa though.

Any idea what that codec pack may be? I'll try updating my current one...
Wow the TAA in this game is really strong. The game's assets are really not meant to be viewed without TAA though because they have so much unintentional high frequency noise, shader aliasing, shimmering and other stuff going on without it. Additionally, you can notice the low resolution assets like the metal work on the railings very easily whereas with TAA everything is blurred out and gives everything a soft CG like look....but the blur is indeed quite heavy
SMAA:
FXAA + TAA
But then for some reason you sometimes end up with cases like this here where TAA completely gets rid of ANY specularity when there should be a specularity. (I should make a note that this specularity on blood is FULL of shimmering and pixel crawling, but the weird thing is that while it's normal for TAA to reduces the specular highlights a bit it is odd for it to completely removes it)

that was it.
and my 60fps dreams were shattered as soon as the first few zombies showed up and it shit the bed...WELP.
According to the in game counter it can go up to 13,5GBVram usage.
I went well beyond the theoretical limit of my 1080 and didn't notice stutters due to Vram's lack though.
Yeah or maybe optimization is not that great. Also getting slight stutter and hiccups on my gtx 970.
Anyone else have this problem?
I tried it five times and kept getting this. It wasn't until I switched from DirectX 11 to 12 that it was able to play the cutscene properly.

about the VRAM some games just take up whatever extra because it can. Just because it can use 14gb at 4k ultra doesn't necessarily mean it needs to or will try to on a 6gb card
Any idea how old this build is? I'm still hoping for RTX features day one (DON'T LAUGH AT MY OPTIMISM).
This should help:
I noticed a little bit of stuttering at times, it may be due to having something up too high though, I'd like a good 30 minutes just to tweak the settings. I used DX12, but didn't get to try it vs DX11. I played with most things on and/or high at 1080p and got anywhere from 70 - 144fps depending on the scene. GTX 1080, 8600K @ 5GHz, 16GB DDR4 3200MHz, SSD.
I don't quite understand the various "High" texture settings. Is it just the amount of textures the game preloads while loading? As in if you set it to High (0.25) then the game is almost always streaming from HDD whereas if you set it to High (8GB) the game loads the whole level in one go without any streaming? Because as far as texture quality go all versions of high look the same to me but I haven't tested it out properly.
Also for some reason SSAO and HBAO+ look pretty much the same in this game in terms of shadowing accuracy (not resolution because HBAO+ is obviouslly full resolution and as such won't have any flickering), whereas HDAO looks considerably lighter.

Yea, I just posted I was getting the same problem. When I switched form DirectX 11 to 12 it was fine.
I know it's a remake, but since they are making some cool changes and adding new stuff - would it hurt to modify the old knife-combat system. It just feels weird in a modern-looking game, seriously. And I would love to finish off zombies after they fall down, like in Dead Space.
BTW you can just make a new Steam account for another 30 minutes, that's what I'm doing now, mostly to tweak settings. You can use a temp email service to speed up the process: https://temp-mail.org/
No DX12 for me, I'm afraid. Windows 8.1. Will keep my eyes open for another solution, or hopefully they'll fix it by the time the full game rolls out.
This, or using uncompressed versions of textures, is what I expect is happening.
Search for Resident Evil 2 One shot
You'll find it that way.
I feel like I've always went beyond my GPU's VRAM, especially when I was still using a 3 GB 780 but never really noticed stuttering as well. I think the last time that has ever been a problem for me was many years ago when I was still using a Geforce 4 and 256 MB GPUs were a luxury.
think I found a sweet spot for 60 with 1gb textures and I honestly cant tell a difference from 2gb, i must be blind /shrug
most of the settings at medium with all the bells and whistles turned on (your SSAOs and reflections and shit). This is on 4690k and 970.
dx12 is noticiably worse than dx11 for me tho.

True but the demo never used more then 7.5GB (at 1440p) for me. The in game settings suggest that 12.5GB of Vram are needed though.
There is either something wrong with the calculation OR those high res textures are not present in the demo build because they didn't want to inflate the download for 30min of gameplay.
Dropped from Max settings:
-DX11
-Texture Quality to High(1gb)
-Shadows to High
-Volumetric Lighting to Medium
-Resolution is at 1920x1080 (with internal res at 110%)
...and it's pretty damn smooth in the lobby and in general gameplay but when you crawl under fence to get to the east wing and mini cutscene with Leon looking around with his flashlight starts -> performance drops to ~50fps for some reason.
6700k + GTX 970 and i am trying to get stable 60
One thing for sure... PC version looks much much better than what i have seen on PS4 Pro. Demo is probably not Pro enhanced other than unlocked framerate though.
No it's normal. I can't maintain 60FPS on a GTX1080+6700K even at 1440P.
The game's just demanding.
I recommend dropping HBAO+ to SSAO (not HDAO as that one is too light) and Volumetric to medium, the difference in this game is imperceptible even in side by side comparison and you likely won't find any until you zoom in on images. Also drop the textures from High (8GB) to High (6GB) (or even lower, it seems to just decide how much of texture is streamed from HDD and how much is preloaded initially) because at 80% of 4K you are using a lot of your video memory.
I'm not sure about performance in DX11 vs DX12 as I only tried DX12.
DX12 caused a crash. Switched to Dx11 and gained roughly 30-40 fps on average.
Downsampled to 1440 on a 1080 monitor with everything maxed including textures and I was getting between 120-150 fps with some drops into the low 100s.
Demo ran out of time before I could really play around with settings.
